Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I have always had challenges with my weight. I am a petite 4'11". I have two children 26 and 17 years old. I had a C-section with both children. I have also had two other surgeries: hysterectomy and an emergency appendectomy(in which has left a deep scar straight down the middle of my stomach). Of course this does really did a number on my stomach!
My highest weight was 199 and I lost 50lbs about 10 years ago but gained about 25lbs back. In the past year (so far) I have had a steady weight lost of about 15 lbs(did not weigh after Thanksgiving). My exercise consist of Walking and Yoga. But this does not help the dreaded flabby stomach and "love" handles always seems to stick with me.
I have thought about this procedure a lot especially after the emergency appendectomy.! I believe people are placed in your life for a reason, because after speaking with my friend I then decided to make the move and do this for ME!!
I shared this desire with my husband and I made an appointment with Dr. Cochran to see if I was a good candidate and also to discuss the procedure. Wow! I am a perfect candidate. Dr.C and I discussed the procedure and I shared my concerns and..here I am! Scheduled for surgery Dec 27th. Seems like everything is moving fast now: I have received my lab orders, my prescriptions, paid half of my surgery fee, received my approved FMLA(2 weeks*hope that is enough time). I am a bit nervous but yet excited.

Dr.C came highly recommended from a friend who have just recently had a TT and she looks GREAT! I have also found great reviews on Realself.com.
